Most frequently used airlines?

[dajop]

I was looking at my spreadsheet of flights, and for some reason ran a query on which airlines I travelled most frequently. Surprisingly, Ansett still came in at No. 2 on the list.

My top 5 are:

QF (by a factor of 10 x more than AN)
AN
SQ
ZL (mostly Rex, but a small no of Hazelton)
AA

What do others have in their top 5?

3: TAM and LAN Chile. -- 7.5% each

4: Swiss and Iberia. -- 5% each

5: British Airways, Rex and Air Tahiti Nui. -- 2.5% each

I'll give those of you who like the smell of a hunt, time to work who the 2 weirdo's are

I believe mine over the last 4 years or so are in order:

QF (easily 90% I think)
DJ
AA
CX
BA
SQ
AY
NZ/O7/RE/JQ (only 1 each )

 

[Shano]

No exact records, but for the last 4 or so years the order would be:

QF
AA
UA
CX
CZ

Sky West is understandable. Arrow Air is a little less obvious - there must be a story there somewhere.

 

[Bundy Bear]

QF 45%
DJ 5%
AN 4%
NZ 3.3%
SQ 3.3%

I never stick to one airline and will try a different one if the schedule fits.

From my readings here the JW you talk off would have to be blue.

Arrow Air is a little less obvious - there must be a story there somewhere.

Umm no story with Arrow Air. Where do you get JW = Arrow Air? Can two airlines have the same code?

I used expertflyer to find JW, but now on a closer look it is coming up as JW'

Anyway, it is Skippers Aviation whom fly their commercial flights as JW code numbers.

QF (mainly Qantaslink)
AN (mainly Kendell)

Next Year I'll give MA and IB a workout

JW=Arrow Air came from here.

Yes, it can happen that two airlines have the same code so long as the issuing authority believes there is no likelihood of them operating in the same region. This happened with TN.
